Q: Does Teeth Whitening really work?

A:  Of course it does! The surface of the teeth contains millions of microscopic pores, and over the years, organic compounds from food, fizzy drinks, tea, coffee or tobacco penetrate these pores causing discoloration of the tooth enamel.

Q: How does My Smile Spa compare to other whitening options?

A:  My Smile Spa offers the most advanced technology available in teeth whitening. Clinical studies have proven My Smile Spa whitens an average of 8+ shades in 1 hour. Compare this to a leading tray system, which achieved only 6 shades and took weeks. In fact, many tray users never achieve even a few shades, as it is difficult to complete the regimen - night after night sleeping with trays full of bleaching gel, often accompanied by sensitivity and gum irritation. As you can see, My Smile Spa is a tremendous value by comparison. Incidentally, the same study showed that a leading whitening toothpaste was only able to achieve 1.5 shades of improvement after an entire month of use.

The majority of our clients experience no pain or sensitivity after the My Smile Spa Professional Teeth Whitening treatment.

A: The long-term results depend primarily on the individual.

Regular professional care and use of the My Smile Spa Home kit can help maintain your whiteness for 1-2 years. Some people prefer to do the My Smile Spa whitening treatment more frequently.

Q: Is this procedure for everyone?

A: Virtually anyone wanting to whiten his or her teeth can benefit from using My Smile Spa - including people with severe food, coffee, tobacco or tetracycline stains. Young adults 16 years of age and older are great candidates for the procedure, especially for those that have heavy staining after orthodontic treatment is complete and their braces are removed. My Smile Spa recommends that you not do this process while nursing or pregnant, receiving orthodontic treatment, or have extensive dental work, such as veneers or crown/bridges. These factors will be reviewed by a dentist at your initial consultation.
